## What's an Apify Actor?
Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".
## How to integrate an Actor?
If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.
In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):
```bash
npm install apify-client
```
In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):
```bash
pip install apify-client
```
In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):
````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash
In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).
If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).
For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

## Singapore HDB Flat Rental Prices Scraper
> Pull Singapore HDB flat rental transactions from the official data.gov.sg open data portal. Filter by town, flat type or rent range and get the monthly rent, block, street and approval month. No login, no API key.
### What you get
One record per approved HDB flat rental, straight from the official "Renting Out of Flats" dataset published on data.gov.sg by the Housing and Development Board. Built for real estate research, rental pricing and market analysis.
- **rentApprovalDate**: the month HDB approved the rental (YYYY-MM)
- **town**: the HDB town (for example TAMPINES, BEDOK)
- **block**: the block number
- **streetName**: the street name
- **flatType**: the flat type (for example 3-ROOM, 4-ROOM, EXECUTIVE)
- **monthlyRent**: the approved monthly rent in SGD (numeric)
- **currency**: SGD
- **observedAt**: when this record was collected
### How it works
| Input | What it does |
|---|---|
| `town` | Keep only rentals in this HDB town (exact match, for example TAMPINES). |
| `flatType` | Keep only rentals of this flat type (exact match, for example 4-ROOM). |
| `searchQuery` | Free text filter across town, block, street name or flat type. |
| `minRent` / `maxRent` | Keep only rentals within this monthly rent range in SGD. |
| `sortByNewest` | Return the most recently added transactions first. |
| `maxItems` | Cap the number of records collected. |
The data comes from the official Singapore open data portal. Anonymous access is rate limited, so large pulls are paced automatically.
### Use cases
| Use case | Who it is for |
|---|---|
| Benchmark rents by town and flat type | Landlords and tenants |
| Track HDB rental price trends over time | Analysts and researchers |
| Estimate rental yield for a property | Investors |
